object of contemplation’
Oxford English Dictionary

Our Place In The Therapeutic Alliance
We’re a team!
Client
Positive outcome
 Working together towards that positive outcome
20:20 Vision
 The member of the team who knows themselves best
 Understanding / acceptance / resolution – 20:20 vision
 The best it could be – NOT an ending or fix?

Not Everyone Likes it…..
Fritz Perls for one: -
But Fritz had ‘issues’
“There can be no true contact in empathy.
At its worst it is confluence”
Little Fritz

 The understanding of / between TWO people
 The Therapist must Understand the client is several ways: -
- From the client’s own perspective
- In and through the context of their life
- Understand the dissonance between the client’s view and reality
 We need to consider their age, sex, culture, family circumstances etc.
Not Just a Basic Skill?
© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco ConfidentialPresentation_ID 8
 By applying some skills we all have
- Active Listening [letting them tell their story]
- Reflecting back thoughts and feelings
- Summarising what they have said in terms of what we understand
- Clarifying any ‘open’ issues
Good News: It Can Be Honed ….
